12 Made possible by a painful integration Slow institutional integration in Western Europe during the last 50 years June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 12

13 The result? The US, EU-15, and Japan cover much of the economic globe June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 13

14 Stories being repeated now in developing Asia Mumbai the most densely populated city About 30,000 people per sq. km.; already twice the density of Seoul, Shanghai, and Bogota More people keep coming China the most mobile developing country 60 million migrant workers traveled from home on the last day of Chinese New Year holidays in million travelers were stranded due to snow storms days before Chinese New Year in 2008 Southeast Asia the most rapidly integrating developing region Trade is big part of GDP More than 25 percent of its trade is within Southeast Asia; more than 50 percent if Northeast Asia is included June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 14

20 The result? China, Southeast Asia, and India can again be recognized on this map June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 20

21 Spatial transformations needed for progress Higher Densities No country has grown to high income without urbanizing Shorter Distances Growth seldom comes without the need to move closer to density Fewer Divisions Growth seldom comes to a place that is isolated from others June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 21

22 Messages Growth will be unbalanced Trying to balance growth amounts to fighting it Development can still be inclusive Persistent spatial disparities in basic living standards are neither desirable nor inevitable Integration is the way to get both unbalanced growth and inclusive development Report attempts to change debates from spatial targeting to spatial integration: institutions, infrastructure, and incentives June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 22

23 Policy concerns Concentration of people in cities will outstrip concentration of economic mass A billion people in the world s slums Spatial disparities in living standards will widen as economic mass concentrates in places distant from where people are A billion people in remote and lagging areas Poor people will be trapped in isolated countries that are not developing The new Third World : Collier s Bottom Billion June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 23

24 A billion in slums June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 24

48 2D Brazil: Lagging areas have high poverty rates and many of the poor Brazil: Poverty rates are high in the North and Northeast, but most poor people live along the coast June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 48

50 Market access measures help to classify regions Access to (domestic and foreign) markets differs greatly: Real market potential in 2003 Source: Mayer (2008) for this Report. The 3Ds suggest a simple taxonomy of the world s neighborhoods June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 50

51 What the report proposes 1. Understand the spatial transformations necessary for progress Higher Densities Shorter Distances Fewer Divisions 2. Unleash the market forces that promote concentration and convergence Agglomeration Migration Specialization 3. Calibrate policies to achieve economic integration institutions which unite helping labor and capital move to opportunity infrastructure to connect but do not expect production to spread out incentives that target but only where necessary 4. Result: Unbalanced growth, inclusive development June 28, 2008 Mumbai Consultation 51
